[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend's tween daughter was told by her classmate that she was on his "rape list" and one of her friends is on the same boy's "kill list." The same boy has harassed my friend's daughter for months, telling her the (violent) things he's going to do to her. The girl is a mess and traumatized, refusing to go out of the house, etc. it's bad enough that girl and female friend are going to try to change schools or districts. according to friend, the school (and the principal) hasn't done anything about it, neither child was asked to switch classes and the boy was not suspended or even asked to see the school counsellor, supposedly b/c mcps has a "reintigration" policy or something like that. Surely, in this post-columbine world this can't be the policy? that a kid making death threats to others isn't even reprimanded or asked to get counselling? [/quote]

One challenge can be if the interaction is verbal. Then it becomes a "he said, she said."

Our DC experienced repeated verbal bullying from another child who also stabbed our DC with a pencil in ES.  The teacher thought the children should spend more time together to work out their differences, and said that was what the other child's parents wanted. It took our suggestion in writing to file a bullying report and a hostile response from the teacher before the principal was willing to take any action. Even then, it was our child, not the bully, who had to change classrooms. There were no consequences for the bully, but at least our child was safe. [/quote]
